Riviera Punavuori

A perfect movie night: your own sofa or armchair, drinks, maybe some tapas — and popcorn, of course. Like stepping into another world for a little while.

If you're looking for a completely fresh and intimate way to enjoy cinema, Riviera is a dream come true. With two fantastic locations in the lively neighborhoods of Kallio and Punavuori, this independent boutique cinema has redefined what a night at the movies can look like. It’s a beautifully relaxed space where a film screening blends seamlessly with the easygoing vibe of a cozy bar and dinner night out.

The whole experience at Riviera is built around pure comfort and warm hosting. Instead of traditional rows of seats, you get to settle into plush sofas, custom armchairs, and cozy corners with plenty of space to relax. The team welcomes everyone with a casual, friendly energy that instantly makes you feel like you've walked into a private screening hosted by a group of friends.

The real treat here is the food and drink selection. You can complement your movie with a properly mixed cocktail, a glass of quality wine, or a local craft beer alongside a delicious menu of tapas, shared plates, and sweet treats. You simply grab your refreshments from the bar, and everything is served right to your cozy seat so you don't miss a moment of the film.

The movie selection is just as thoughtfully curated as the menu, offering a wonderful mix of the latest high-quality releases, timeless classics, and interesting indie gems.

What recommends: Riviera is the absolute perfect choice for a relaxed date night, a lazy Sunday afternoon, or a fun evening out with friends. Because the screening rooms are beautifully intimate and highly popular, make sure to book your tickets and your sofas well in advance!
